A place to remember the old ways of living (pioneers' time), with a display of diferent houses and buildings from diferent periods of time. Unfortunately, some of the buildings were closed due renovations and the way through the bridge was closed. Also we saw a warning due seeing a bear 🐻, recently in nearby area.
Attended great little spot for photos with dogs and Santa. They hosted an event for photos done by staff.
Originally everything was booked but was able to put myself on the waiting list. Staff are very friendly helpful. The photos were done on a DSLR, and staff were patient to get the dogs in photo ready positions.
Prices are fair and was a great experience outdoors with Santa and the dogs. Durham humane society was also out, so it was for a good cause
Great time. The buildings are really cool tonl check out. We went for the escape room and it was a lot of fun. Kinda tricky to find if you don't know where you're going tho.
Fairy Tour offered at the Pickering Museum Village was amazing so much detail to each fairy house displayed. The volunteers are so helpful and very informative. The tours are guided with an audio recording you can play at your own pace as there is so much to take in ... they even incorporated a Scavenger Hunt finding 12 stamps and fill up your passport card wins you a prize at the end!
The Pickering Museum Village offers many different events .. worth checking out!
Awesome place to learn about the history of Pickering. Very informative tour guide, she shared a lot of fun facts about the tools used and the people who used to live in that time. A lot of fun programs going on all year round. Definitely gonna come back to check them out!!
Came here for the butter making workshop and had a ton of fun. Didn’t realize it was so easy to make! Beautiful grounds that are well maintained.
A Spirit Walk is a must see if you haven't already done so.
I don't have any pictures as you are not allowed to take any.
I loved the walking thru the village at night with a lantern and seeing a live reenactment of the history in our town. It really brought you back in time. From the costumes to the sets they put on an incredible show.
It is a great gem of a place to spend an afternoon there. The staff and volunteers do a great job and if you have kids in your group there are a lot of fun things to keep them engaged while learning about how early settlers lived and their lifestyle.
They have a busy calendar with tons of different activities. When we visited they had a solve the mystery activity for kids with a prize if they got it right.
On the 17th of June we were there with kids and were asked to go indoors because of lightening. We were in for a while and were particularly impressed with a staff member Eamon (he is dressed as one of the characters).
Eamon did his best keeping the kids engaged while we were indoors waiting for the all clear. Eamon brought out toys for the kids to play with. He came up with riddles for the kids to solve. He kept the kids engaged and we are grateful as the kids had started getting restless. Great job Eamon!
The entire staff at the Museum is great, friendly and welcoming. Always a good time there.
